FRC is hard fun. Teamed up with a mechanically strong team and they are doing the minibot and arm. We're doing the drive, sensors, program.

So I've recruited 2 other top Labview users for the FRC team. But our lead student wants to program the robot in Python. #throwmeacurveball

Feed him/her to a python.

Compelling introductory examples of OO LabVIEW?
Mark Balla replied to Stuart's topic in Object-Oriented Programming
The project I am currently working on processes and displays data in specified ways. The User determines what and how data is calculated as well as what will be displayed. Initially the "User" was a person. There for several dialog vis were created to extract the needed information before the application could continue. The project has expanded and the user is not always available to enter in the information. In one case the program will extract the needed information form a file. In another case the information will be queried from a PLC. Extracting data from each of the different sources requires very different methods User: Ask user using dialog vis File: Find Open and read data. PLC: Setup connection read tags To solve this problem I created a parent "Data Source" Class and 3 children User, File, PLC, Later if another data source is requested I simple add another child The "Get Data" method is overwritten by each child using dynamic dispatch. Hope this helps spark and idea for you Mark -

When you get a chance to connect with developers from all over how can you not be happy. This was taken at the CLA summit. Heiko may remember better than I but we were either watching FRC videos or he was showing me his pig farm application. This one is still my all time favorite. http://lavag.org/topic/3463-nobody-nose/page__p__17271__hl__nobody+nose__fromsearch__1#entry17271
